X-ray detector system based on photon counting
- 2018
-
Patent (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Disclosed is an x-ray detector system including a multitude of detector elements, each connected to a respective photon counting channel for providing at least one photon count output, and a read-out unit connected to the photon counting channels for outputting the photon count outputs. Each one of at least a subset of the photon counting channels includes at least two photon counting sub-channels, each photon counting sub-channel providing at least one photon count output and having a shaping filter, wherein the shaping filters of the photon counting sub-channels are configured with different shaping times, and wherein the photon counting sub-channels, having shaping filters with different shaping times, are adapted for counting photons of different energy levels. Furthermore, the read-out unit is configured to select, for each photon counting channel, photon count outputs from the photon counting sub-channels.

Image reconstruction based on energy-resolved image data from a photon-counting multi-bin detector
- 2015
-
Patent (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- There is provided a method of image reconstruction based on energy-resolved image data from a photon-counting multi-bin detector or an intermediate storage. The method comprises processing (S1) the energy-resolved image data by performing at least two separate basis decompositions using different number of basis functions for modeling linear attenuation, wherein a first basis decomposition is performed using a first smaller set of basis functions to obtain at least one first basis image representation, and wherein a second basis decomposition is performed using a second larger set of basis functions to obtain at least one second basis image representation. The method also comprises reconstructing a first image based on said at least one first basis image representation obtained from the first basis decomposition, and combining the first image with information representative of said at least one second basis image representation.
